Throughout the Lenten season, HRC will share devotionals from faith leaders, LGBTQ people and allies. The campaign seeks to create an environment in which LGBTQ people of faith and their allies can practice the spiritual traditions of their faith in a welcoming, inclusive environment.<\/p>\n<p>The Lenten season marks the days leading up to Jesus&#8217; crucifixion and subsequent resurrection. For Christians, the resurrection is both a celebration of life and a reminder that people continue to suffer, including members of the LGBTQ community.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that the season of Lent is observed by many Christian denominations and may not resonate with all readers. With this series, HRC seeks to amplify and honor the voices of LGBTQ-affirming faith leaders in many religious traditions.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s post is a reflection on Joel 2:1-17, and it comes from Susan Cottrell of FreedHearts, a national coalition of parents of LGBTQ children.<\/p>\n<p>For more about the Lenten Devotional, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/hrc.im\/Lent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hrc.im\/Lent<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Lent was never part of my faith tradition growing up. It belonged to the Catholic kids in my neighborhood, which was everyone but me because my family was not religious. All I remember is folks receiving ashes on their foreheads.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve since figured out its meaning: Lent is a time to repent and return to God. The 40 days symbolize Jesus\u2019 time of prayer and fasting in the wilderness. The neighborhood kids\u2019 sacrifice of chocolate or TV for Lent echoed the fast.<\/p>\n<p>What about this repenting and returning to God? And what does that mean today on Ash Wednesday? Of course, I want to see the wealthy and powerful repent. I long to see those who exclude and oppress return to God.<\/p>\n<p>But what about the people who have been bullied or excluded simply for their skin color, sexual orientation or poverty? How do those with shattered lives repent and return to God?<\/p>\n<p>The people in today\u2019s passage from Joel face shattered lives. The \u201cday of darkness\u201d is an infestation of locusts, which arrives and devours crops. It\u2019s like an apocalypse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy is God so angry as to destroy our crops,\u201d they wonder. The prophet <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">calls<\/a> them to repent and return to God, to turn away God\u2019s fierce anger.<\/p>\n<p>But even in this early theology, the writer reveals God\u2019s beauty. God is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love. God relents from punishing!<\/p>\n<p>Yes, we repent. We change our thinking.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, we return to God to restore our own peace.<\/p>\n<p>But God meets us in our lament with love, mercy and grace. We are not worms crawling on our unworthy bellies to God. No, we bear God\u2019s image! Soak that in.<\/p>\n<p>We get to bask in the love that is God, and then we get to go be that love to a world that desperately needs it.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<hr>\n<p>The Lenten Devotional is a faith-driven resource that compiles meditations written by 47 faith leaders from across the U.S. This project and other public education work with faith leaders in HRC&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrc.org\/campaigns\/project-one-america\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Project One America<\/a> states and HRC&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrc.org\/explore\/topic\/religion-faith\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Religion and Faith Program<\/a> is made possible in part by the generous support of the E.
